SiegedSec, a collective of self-proclaimed “gay furry hackers,” has claimed credit for breaching online databases of the Heritage Foundation, the conservative think tank that spearheaded the rightwing Project 2025 playbook. On Wednesday, as part of string of hacks aimed at organizations that oppose trans rights, SiegedSec released a cache of Heritage Foundation material.
In a post to Telegram announcing the hack, SiegedSec called Project 2025 “an authoritarian Christian nationalist plan to reform the United States government.” The attack was part of the group’s #OpTransRights campaign, which recently targeted rightwing media outlet Real America’s Voice, the Hillsong megachurch, and a Minnesota pastor.
In his foreword to the Project 2025 manifesto, the Heritage Foundation’s president, Kevin Roberts, rails against “the toxic normalization of transgenderism” and “the omnipresent propagation of transgender ideology.” The playbook’s other contributors call on “the next conservative administration” to roll back certain policies, including allowing trans people to serve in the military.
“We’re strongly against Project 2025 and everything the Heritage Foundation stands for,” one of SiegedSec’s leaders, who goes by the handle vio, told The Intercept.
I’m convinced there is a subsection of con/ren faire nerds that have more sex than anyone on the planet who isn’t a sex worker. They’re out there breaking stereotypes and boning down.
Nerdy conventions are well-known for bringing people together who have the same or very comoatible kinks. The more you lean into a fandom, the better your odds of getting laid. Custom cosplay is like a big “pick me” sign.
Agree with all that. In addition, there are a lot of open minded nerds. Maybe I’m not into something necessarily, but I’m willing to give it a whirl. That opens up the pool of other nerds that want to bang you.
And Ren Faires are full of an insane amount of alcohol and (after hours) drugs. So you have a bunch of sweaty nerds with lowered inhibitions camping together. Camping sex is intense (in tents).
LOL just a devoted nerddom out here making even the Olympic Village look like a buncha prudes by comparison, and no one knows because the participants are too busy fucking to communicate with the outside world.
Queer nerds? Absolutely. It’s basically a polycule for playing board games and swapping blowjobs
Not only them, but the queer nerds are definitely at the top of that list. There’s also a lot of overlap between queer nerds and kinky nerds, but there is a surprising number of straight nerds getting it on as well. And some that start and end the weekend straight but dabble in things they wouldn’t do back home while they’re there.
And as long as they’re not hurting anyone, good for them. I support getting away for a bit of debauchery from time to time.
